MARTIN ® TORNADO Exhaust Valve TECHNICAL DATA

4-Inch Valve The BIG BLASTER® XHV Air Cannon with


MARTIN® TORNADO Exhaust Valve
BIG BLASTER® XHV Air Cannon with produces better material flow with greater
MARTIN® TORNADO Exhaust Valve
force, faster cycling and improved safety.
The BIG BLASTER® XHV Air Cannon fires
when the MARTIN® TORNADO Exhaust
Valve opens in response to a positive surge
of air sent by a tripped solenoid valve. This
positive-acting valve amplifies the discharge
force, up to 20% more force than a
standard BIG BLASTER ® XHV Air Cannon of
the same size.
